Highlight
Retail sales can go up by 21%
The future of the retail industry will involve the use of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, which makes it possible to optimise the retail cycle management. It was based on this technology that the platform ‘CreativeRetail’ was created, and it not only improves customer satisfaction, but also increases sales between 4 and 21% in stores or store chains. The CreativeRetail was developed by Creativesystems, together with INESC TEC.

INESC TEC adopts output evaluation model of the European Space Agency
In order to evaluate the technology readiness of its scientific outputs, as part of the FCT’s evaluation, which took place in late 2014, INESC TEC has adopted the model of the European Space Agency. This model uses a scale of TRL – Technology Readiness Levels, which define the maturity of technology developed within each R&D project, always aiming to transfer technology to the market.
Editorial
Our mission, our purpose
FCT’s evaluation process of R&D units has produced a result that is consistent with the image that INESC TEC’s collaborators would like to have of themselves and their organisation: excellent.
